Intro to WordPress for Developers (Coding Custom Themes)

In this free webinar you’ll learn how WordPress themes work, how to start developing them, and upload/install them on a live website.

WordPress has two sides to it: one for users (who log into the WordPress admin to manage the content), and one for developers (who create themes and write the code that drives the WordPress site).

If you’re a web developer who is already familiar with HTML/CSS and wants to learn how to get started with WordPress themes, this is the right webinar for you! If you’re not a coder and want to learn about WordPress for users, check out our Intro to WordPress webinar.

This is a great way to get started before diving into one of our hands-on WordPress classes (in-person in NYC or live online) such as WordPress for Coders.

What You’ll Learn

The workflow of developing custom WordPress themes
Setting up a local web server for development
Starting a custom WordPress theme
Uploading & installing your custom WordPress theme on your live website
What WordPress child themes are and why/when you would use them
